This Pagan-Themed Photoshoot By Polish Photographer Is Stunning

The first thing that comes to mind when you think of Slavic culture are probably vodka, the Orthodox church and fur hats. Well, this Polish photographer named Marcin Nagraba wanted to show the world an ancient view of his Slavic roots by taking it all the way back to Pagan times. Between the 7th and 12th centuries, Christianity arrived in the Slavic world but before that the region was a hotbed of polytheism and mythology. Even though there is not much information to this day about their mysterious rituals, some accounts by Byzantine explorers describe the ancient Slavs as worshipers of thunder and earth. There is no doubt referring to Perun, the highest god of the pantheon and the Slavic equivalent of the Greek Zeus.

The photographer with the help of costume designer Agnieszka Osipa, captures breathtaking portraits of the wisdom ages from the past. You can experience every picture for yourself just down below and drift back in time for a moment.
